Freelancer plagiarized NY Post story from Enquirer
The New York Post says freelancer Robin Gregg plagiarized a May 15 business section piece on Wal-Mart dropping Kathie Lee Gifford’s clothing line. The Post found Enquirer text nearly identical, Gregg admitted the plagiarism, and will not contribute again. Fewer than 10 of his bylines appeared in the last year, mainly from Los Angeles.
